Deducing Beauty: The Grounds of Beauty in Schiller's Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man

- In this video, I examine Schiller's transcendental deduction of the beautiful set forth in his Letter's On the Aesthetic Education of Man. Whereas in my previous video, I articulated Schiller's account of the social and political effects of beauty, here I attempt to explain Schiller's view of Beauty itself. Following Kant, he attempts to offer a transcendental deduction of the beautiful, arguing that if human perfectibility is possible, then beauty must exist as a necessary condition of that possibility. In the process, I distinguish between contemporary and Kantian meanings of the term "transcendental", and explain Schiller's accounts of the form drive, the sensual drive, and the play drive. I also consider some differences between Schiller's account of beauty and human perfections and more traditional Platonic accounts.

♥️👌🏻 thank you.
Thank you! Splendid as usual!
The sensuous drive and the form drive are fully realized by us in each act of discovery wherein heretofore different things become expressions of a unifying theme. In the moment of discovery, time becomes eternal and eternity time - this paradox, this logical impossibility, is God's manner of awareness.
I'm here, nobel friend.
